Wine Talks with Paul K.
Wine Talks with Paul K.
All you knew about wine is about to bust wide open….we are going to talk about what really happens in the wine business and I’m taking no prisoners... I am your host Paul Kalemkiarian and as the 2nd generation owner of the Original Wine of the Month Club, I sold 17,000,000 bottles of wine and tasted somewhere north of 100,000 wines. And what I learned is that wine is about the story; the story can't be that I bought this wine on the internet for 5 bucks. Join me as we peel back the real stories behind the wine you are tasting. How can Groupon sell 12 bottles for $60 and the wines be good? How do you start a winery anyway and lose money? And is a screwcap really better than a cork? Sometimes I have to pick a wine at the store by the label and the price...and I get screwed. Subscribe now and prepare to be enlightened.

This guy knows wine. Meet winemaker, educator and passioniste…Ian Blackburn.

He has covered the bases in what it takes to be good in this industry.

I kept running into Ian at tastings, dinners and special wine events. We got to talking and his expertise oozed during our conversations. He makes wine, educates on wine and judges wine…pretty much does it all. We sat down and tried to touch on all of it…but ran out of time. It inspires one to hear the drive and passion.
